This isn’t supported by the LotG though. “The physio did not enter” is not in the exceptions about serious injuries. There is nothing in the laws about minor injuries. Yes, it’s common sense. But the law says you stop play (only) for a serious injury. If it’s not serious you wait until the next...

That’s not what the LotG says. It says clearly: stops play if a player is seriously injured and ensures that the player is removed from the field of play. An injured player may not be treated on the field of play and may only re-enter after play has restarted; if the ball is in play, re-entry...

In the OP the player does not receive treatment.

The ball is in play, a player goes down injured and seems in distress, the referee stops the game to attend to the injured player, the player then says she does need the physio. Can the player remain on the field or do they have to leave the field? (Citations from IFAB or anywhere else...

I’ve broken two in very cold weather. They have gone a bit brittle and I have cracked them. #3 is still performing.

Deliberate handball. Pen. Ball heading to goal. Yellow card. New stadium. Cheers!

Yup! I had u15 top div the other week. In the first minute the mild dissent started. I calmy warned the main offender and explained he has to show me and the rest of the match, parents and coaches proper respect. Basic stepped approach stuff and calm but it worked. He went on to score the...

Fifa fingers !

Total hero

I have done this once. I would not do it again.

I am stupified by this one TBH. It is an offence. Blah VAR, blah whistle, blah ref, blah terrible wording… but it’s a foul. No goal. Smart refereeing. Move on.

Please watch the video of the original pass again

I think this is a very personal thing. In a top level boys or girls match the referee is doing everyone - including future referees - a great service by acting here. But I would handle this with a laugh and a smile - while finding a moment to mention the LotG, the competition rules and making...

Approaching 1000 matches, inc a lot of lines… from all of the above, never had: Dual SFP KFTPM reduce to equate Goal direct from DB Corner from GK Throw in to own goal Goal from foreign object Replace injured ref (Goal from helicopter wind cannot be real!)

Amount of training is a big factor. I worked with a guy last night i have know for maybe 8 years since he was 18. He has had year round training throughout, endless endless video reviews, the best coaches/mentors, handpicked matches with other heavily trained young referees etc. and he is now...

Maybe you could start a thread and explain more? The best thing to do is… a stepped approach with the manager! But the steps can be very quick. You absolutely cannot allow a manager to shout at you for 70 minutes. In minute one you must deal with it. That is the job. I know that is incredibly...

Why IDFK? Foul on the GK while in control of the ball is DFK ;)

I watched all the highlights for context. The two incidents do look like clangers. For the PK the GK clearly knees the ball and the attacker clatters into him. Looks like a defensive FK not penalty. Then the really odd one, GK catches ball, is bumped by the attacker for a tsp in. Looks like it...

Practice. Tongue. Valkeen. 🎺⚽️🤩😍

Well done! That you can come here and articulate this shows you have great potential don’t give up! I also had a U15 top tier girls this weekend. It can be tough - the players train 5/6 times a week, coaches can be crazy. They can be all nicey nicey pre-match but they can turn - and like most...
